    Point of care ultrasound for patients on GLP-1 receptor agonist.

    GLP-1 RAs delay gastric emptying and increase residual gastric content and aspiration risk during anesthesia. Gastric POCUS assesses the gastric content of preoperative patients with GLP-1 RAs. A curved probe was used in the epigastrium to evaluate the antral content in the supine and RLD positions. Calculate gastric volume (GV) using the antral CSA. Risk stratification: GV < 1.5 mL/kg (low) and GV > 1.5 mL/kg (high). Adjustment of surgical and anesthetic plans
